David Franklin
A lifelong musician and a licensed psychotherapist, David Franklin has spent more than 45 years exploring musical genres and experimenting in sound, evolving as a musician though rock, folk-pop, avant-garde and ultimately to new age and instrumental music.
Franklin believes that music is one of humanity’s most powerful tools for healing. "The world is really loud right now, and I’m not trying to compete with the noise: I’m creating music for self-connection and healing in these uncertain times."
His newest album - his 10th to date - is titled Passings; it is a collection of 15 new instrumental songs, written and recorded during the pandemic. It reflects a number of endings - or passings - which have occurred in his life and within our society, such as his children leaving home, the death both his parents, and changes related to the new-normal of our current world.

While nominally a co-op group, the ensemble was founded in 2010 by bassist Steve Messick who ...
